Casa De Las Columnas

Great hotel. Great service. Diego was very attentive and helpful. The hotel is walking distance, 10 mn walk, to the heart of downtown. The hotel has a very home like feel about it. I was able to store my hamburgers in the refrigerator and warm them up in the microwave, without incident. The hotel has a very old school, antique design. Save yourself some $ and stay here while in Merida.

Nice hôtel, away from the center (more peace) . 30pesos for a taxi to the centro historico, easy to get a taxi in the street in front of the hotel. Or hop on a bus for 6pesos (ask for the bus stop near La Cathedral )

We enjoyed the peacefulness of the hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly helpful. The architecture of the hotel was also very nice.

What a jewel of a hotel! We arrived with our 1 year old and 5 year old, to discover an oasis in the city, complete with bijou pool that was lovely- The staff bent over backwards to accommodate us, allowing us to move our reservation by 1 day because the kids were ill- If we go back to Merida we would stay here FOR SURE, in terms of value for money it was the best we have had, the room was clean and beautifully decorated! Thank you!

Casa de Columnas is a charming hotel. The staff were professional, available instantly to help me or answer questions, and very personable. My room was also charming. The garden patio and pool area were tranquil. I would note that this is the complete Mexican experience, which includes the crowing rooster next door. And you do have quite a walk to get to good restaurants.

The hotel was very clean and comfortable which was very nice to discover considering the very reasonable rate. The staff was friendly and helpful. It is close enough to el centro to get there easily enough.

The website for this hotel is very misleading: there is no bar for a "cold beer" or is there a "wine cellar". There is no "arts and crafts boutique". Room service menu consists of toast and eggs. There is no "oat" soap or "honey" insect repellent. Our pillows smelled of mold. The towels are rags. Our air conditioning gave out 3 days before the end of our stay and after numerous complaints about this, it was not fixed. We moved to another hotel our last night there. I am sorry to say, but I have stayed in better youth hostels.

This hotel is the reason why I included Merida in my road trip in the Yucatan peninsula. It is one the loveliest and most charming hotels I have stayed in. And, at an unbeatable price. The welcoming staff, the court yard with the pool and the very well decorated rooms, it was perfect! the only regret I have is that I could not stay longer. Parking is available as well.

The staff was very friendly and very happy happy to please us. We arrived in late and they offered to order pizza for us. It was very clean but the only complaint I had was the bed was a little stiff but not that uncommon for a hotel bed. It's a beautiful old world colonial with a pool that is out in the sun. Within walking distance to most city attractions.

Friendly staff, nice room, good value. The hotel is 10+/- minutes walk to the Cathedral (the centre of town) and about 4 minutes to Santiago park (big church, some food etc.). The pool is a dipping pool to cool you down - not a lap pool for exercise (lot of walking available for that) but it's often empty - perfect. Breakfast is basic but fine. Air conditioning works well and architecture is wonderful. No need for a car if you don't mind a 10-15 minute walk for dinner / culture etc. Cabs are easy too (taxi-stand in Santiago park (4 minutes away) - usually someone there parked - inexpensive and easy). Walk down 59 (going east) to downtown - restaurants along the way - hang in the parks after and watch the world go by. We'll stay there again. Hotel is lovely Merida is a great city!
